Tell us your main hobby!

[Sam I Am]

My interests are very cyclical. I usually don't do more than one at a time and I do them for about six months at a time. (except one of them)

• FPS gaming (shoot'em up types, no MMORPGs)
• Chess & Chess study
• Playing guitar

The FPS games usually don't last more than a month or two before I get burnout and give them away. Actually, Call of Duty: World At War just came out not long ago, and I hardly play it anymore. CoD4 was better and I played it a lot longer.

Chess is a game you can never master and I love learning it, but the studying of Chess is intense and you can burn out which is why I study for about six months and then take six month breaks.

I've been playing guitar since about 1987 or so and played for 10 years. Around 1998 I had no time play anymore with school and work so I sold my guitar and amp to a friend. About 1 or 2 ago I wanted my hobbie back so I bought a cheap guitar and amp. I've been playing quite a bit so for Christmas my wife bought be a much better guitar and amp.

Seems like a lot of us list weightlifting and getting in shape as a popular hobby. I'll tell ya', Judo and Jiu Jitsu are INSANE cardio and upperbody workouts. Anyone who wrestled in high school can attest I bet.

Yeah, it's the same game. I love playing it, it's a fun game. I started playing fifteen or so years ago. When i have the time and access to a course close by i try to play it as much as i can. But that's not always possible.

Have you played it much?

I played it back around 1995 with a friend who had several sets of disks. He moved though and I haven't played since. I had no disks of my own and nobody I knew played or wanted to play because they thought it was stupid and I just didn't feel like running around out there in 102 degree weather by myself! It was a hell of a lot of fun when I did play though.

Disks have gotten expensive but you can pick up used ones for about $5 at the store. You can get away with only getting a putter and one versatile driver.

I personally liked playing a round by myself every now and then. But usually, if people see you there by yourself, they will ask if you want to tag along with their group. Most people out there are pretty cool and friendly.

But i agree playing in TX in the late summer is brutal unless you're out there very very early in the morning. When i was still in TX, my buddy and I had a rule that in July we only play one round and in August we don't play at all unless we can make it out to the course around 7-8am.

it doesn't hurt to have a 30-pack sitting nearby

Took a few days to get back to you.

I was introduced to the game about 2 years ago, had never heard of it before. I didn't even know we had a full course at a popular well maintained park.

I've played it about 5 or so times, but it is a blast, and really is a good source of exercise because there are no " Frizbee Golf Carts", lol.

Is Maker's Mark a hobby or an addiction? I forget.

Seriously, I'm really into reinventing myself. It consumes most of my free time and spare cash. Check it out

Tomorrow (1/21/09) will be a huge part of that transformation. Tummy tuck, total body lift, and manboob removal. Yes, I'll post pics (before and after). My goal is to be able to run a 5K without keeling over. Triathlon? Maybe. Marathon? IDK.
